Hey, anybody want to do some custom filecards again? That was fun last time.
Also, and this is just an announcement that I though y'all might be interested in: Marine Deadpool is back from deployment. Custom Project ODA Team is GO! And wait until y'all see what's coming: SAS, MARSOC, SEALS, CID/Intel.

EDIT: Yeah, I know Rainbow Six was supposed to be a speculative military fiction take-off on World War II's Rainbow Five, but breaking it down, the Rainbow Six roster (in terms of nationality) and mission (high-value target capture, hostage rescue) seems more like it's patterned after the UN's Special Team Six than Rainbow Five or its predecessors.

That's an excellent rationalization for their existence in the Joe-verse.The GIJCC should have gone that route with the 25th/ME Argen 7 filecards.

Speculation time: Anybody else think that the Night Creepers were probably ex-Mossad guys? Hama has always struck me as being pretty high on Israeli paramilitary/SF guys (think back to all the times he's referenced the Mossad in the regular series and Special Missions, it's clear that he considers them as one of the best "targeted killing" units in the world) and his using letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Teth, Daleth, etc.) as code names for individual Night Creepers sort of makes me lean that way.
Then again, the Night Creepers, in terms of toy design, pull from many different cultures... the original toy was armed with a kris (associated with the martial artists of maritime Southeast Asia, perhaps to the same extent that the katana is associated with the Japanese samurai or the khukuri is associated with the Brigade of Gurkhas) and their multi-bolt crossbow seems to be patterned after the Chinese lian nu, so maybe they're just a composite of all sorts of ninja/martial arts/spy/spec-ops features.

Given their Hebrew names, I'd say Mossad is a pretty good conjecture.

So the selling off of the majority of my collection has started. Oliver already has claim to a figure and waiting to hear if there's anything else he wants.
Let me know if there's anything you guys are looking for and I'll see what I got.
